There are some women here whom I have been impressed with their ideas and how they portray their wisdom and thoughts. Very few people actually posts their pics but just by reading some questions/answers, there are a few women I'd love to jump if I could ever meet them. I probably should not mention this, but one of the moderators is a hottie!
Just wondering if anyone else has had thoughts of this. Even though this is NOT a dating site, surely someone has caught your interest here.
Haha, interesting question. Yeah, there are people from this site I'd love to meet. Not to "jump" them, as you say, but just because I can tell from their answers that we'd get along well. That we have the same sort of thought process about things. Maybe we'd get on really well, maybe we'd be friends, maybe something more would develop, who knows? Hard to say "yes" for certain about anyone unless you meet them in person.
On the other hand, I'm pretty private. I would never put my real picture up on here, and I don't even give out my home state to most people. I have friends that I haven't met in person even after five or more years of knowing them through the internet. But I have met people off the internet before, and there are some people on here that I would meet, given the chance.
I'm not going to lie. I've met too guys on here, both have my number. One I see as a very good friend and gives me some good advice or makes me smile when I need it. And the only one is really cute, and mature and is intelligent. And we have the exact same things in common. You can have your eye caught on someone anywhere you go, whether its myspace, girlsaskguys, facebook or even the mall or movies. People are attracted to people everywhere and I don't think its wrong too have feelings or attractions to people on here.
Lol hmm.. I dunno.. yes. There are some guys on here that are soo mature and know exactly where they are headed that it makes me wants to know more about them. But, maybe on a reality check.. not likely to happen?...
Yeah, I didn't join the site thinking about finding someone to date. In fact, I have no memory of how I even got here.
I do enjoy the activity of certain members. It's fun to read their posts, or sobering and makes me re-evaluate myself at times. I sometimes send those women a message, but rarely get responses. Usually it's "Hey, I like that picture or avatar" or "that answer was really amusing or profound, good job. " I haven't messaged anyone with the intention of meeting them, and I doubt I will. It bothers me that they can't take a compliment, but that's probably the price I pay for other guys behaving badly.
There are a few people on here who I would be interested in meeting, yes, and not only in the context of dating. There are quite a few thoughtful, intelligent, or otherwise amusing replies/questions on here, and I'd probably introduce myself to someone who struck me that way off-line. I like to deal with people who have an novel take on things, and spending a half-hour in a coffee shop to chat with someone new seems worth it, whether they're from "the internet" or not.
I would be pretty hesitant to say anything more than that I would meet them, though. Dealing with someone in person is a very different experience from just seeing a bunch of flat text go by, and a whole host of things (wit, sarcasm, confidence, spontaneity, etc. ) are a lot less obvious/more easily misinterpreted online. It's also a fair deal harder to have a conversation on here, because it's not in real time, if nothing else. (Not to mention that one 75x75 picture and a few lines of text tells you little about the person involved. )
I would not take the steps toward meeting unless the other person seemed fairly receptive to the idea (and probably had already chatted a bit over IM, or some such). I wouldn't want to make things awkward for them, and I would generally want to respect their privacy.
Not so much to start anything, but I have met a few girls I would love to meet in person. Nothing more than just to meet in person, mind, but I would love to. Being from South Africa makes it a little difficult, though, as I've only met one South African girl on this site. I'd love to see what they're like in person, as writing can be very impersonal unless you can express yourself very well. As far as 'jumping' them goes, er, no. I don't think so. I want to get to really know a girl before I even ask her out, and I'd never 'jump' a girl. That's just wrong.
I'm feeling a little desperate for some new people in my life so I made a posting on craigslist. Lots of people replied but I don't know if I should...

What pickup lines do you use to start a conversation with someone you are attracted to?
I don't really use pick up lines unless I am messing around. I introduce myself and start up a conversation. I try to let them do most of the talking if they seem to have a lot to say and I chime in when I have something worth while to say and to let them know I am paying attention to them.
How do they typically respond?
Either they're interested or they're not. We talk and go from there or we go our separate ways.
